The White House has released the much-anticipated agenda of Tuesday’s Trump-Kim summit – which will be a one-day event after all – and discloses that Trump will meet with the North Korean leader tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m., after which the two presidents (or dictators according to Abby Huntsman) will participate in a one-on-one meeting, with translators only and no media, an expanded bilateral meeting, and a working lunch.
The U.S. delegation at tomorrow’s expanded meeting will also include Sec. of State Mike Pompeo, Chief of Staff John Kelly, and National Security Advisor John Bolton. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, Ambassador Sung Kim, and National Security Council Senior Director for Asia Matt Pottinger will join for the working lunch.
And echoing Pompeo’s earlier comments that talks are going quicker than expected, Trump – just like Kim – is expected to depart Singapore tomorrow morning east coast time: “At the conclusion of the summit, President Trump will participate in a media availability before departing tomorrow at approximately 8 p.m. for the United States”.
